A quick update on the latest 2014 Photokina Canon rumors:

A reader sent me this picture of the different colors for the upcoming Pentax K-S1 camera - a larger version can be found here.
Update: here is a translated explanation of the green LEDs on the camera's grip:
Hasselblad announced a new H5D-200c MS medium format camera (not to be confused with the current H5D-200MS model) that can reach 200 MP resolution with the help of the Multi-Shot (MS) capture technology:
"Based on the 50 Megapixel sensor (6200 x 8272 pixels with a dimension of 32.9 x 43.8mm), the H5D-200c MS offers 1, 4 and 6-shot capability. 6-shot will produce 8 bit TIFF files at 600MB each resulting in the most accurate colour rendering and resolution available on the market today in the medium format. Versatile capture with up to 12 minute exposure time. 100 to 6400 ISO. Image raw size is from 75MB with a 16 bit colour depth. Colour display is a 3 inch TFT type, 24 bit colour with 460 x 320 pixels resolution."
Hasselblad H5D-200c MS camera technical specifications:
Sony has filed for a "Certificate of Compliance" in Russia for two new cameras labeled as ILCE-QX1 and ILCE-QX1L. I find it strange that the QX1/QX1L are described as "Digital camera / Interchangeable lens digital camera" since the current Sony QX10 and QX100 models are lens camera modules that attach to a smart phone and not an ILC.
Sony is expected to also announce a new QX30 camera.
In terms of lenses, I received some information that at Photokina Sony will release new versions of the 35mm f/1.4G and the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G A-mount lenses.
The Fuji X20 compact camera is already listed as discontinued and it will be soon replaced by the new X30 model (pictured above) that will have an EVF (the X20 had an optical VF). The X30 will be available in silver and black and is rumored to have the same price tag as the X20 ($500).
